Appearance: Reiko is short enough to be legally classified has being a dwarf. She stands at 4'9", one inch below the legal classification. She has a darker complexion due to the amount of time she spends outdoors, but during winter time she becomes almost as pale as her sister. She is of Japanese heritage, and has black hair that has grown out slightly from it's previously shortened state, now reaching about halfway down her ear and often spiked. Reiko is fairly skinny, and her hobbies have made her very fit, with very little fat. She wears purple framed glasses, although she can see well enough without them. She keeps her nails short and well taken care of, and are often coloured either purple, red, or both. On the day of the trip, Reiko was wearing a red sleeveless T-shirt, black cargo pants with a chain that attached on one end to a belt loop, and on the other end her wallet, and hiking boots. Recently, she has had the left side of her bottom lip pierced three times. As always, she wore her red and purple biking gloves, and brought her roller blades along as well.

Biography: Reiko was born a twin, younger by 20 minutes, in St. Paul, Minnesota, where she was born and raised. Her parents had been living there for about 10 years before the sisters Reika and Reiko were born. They were born under unusual circumstances, being mirror image twins. This is basically a type of identical twin, where everything about the twins is as if looking in a mirror. Reiko is often called by her friends and family the "left side twin", in that all of her defining traits are on the left side. She is left handed, and all defining features she shares with her sister are on the left side. She would have no other siblings.

Reiko's childhood was rather uneventful. Despite being twins, Reika and Reiko weren't as close as many thought they would be. As infants, their parents did what any parent would do, and dressed them up identically, but when they were old enough, about 6, they allowed them to choose their own clothing. Reiko choose a brightly coloured wardrobe, wanting to stand out and be different from her twin. She was also given a chance to choose a recreational activity to do after school. Her family wasn't rich, but they had enough to spare. Reiko, who had always been a very active individual, chose figure skating.

Reiko would become rather good at figure skating, winning local competitions and other small things. At the age of 16, she gained a bit of notoriety after winning a state competition, the first in her age group to win it from her city in over 10 years. She would go on compete in a national competition shortly afterward, where she would place 3rd overall.

Reiko would return to school upon returning from the competition and be hailed as a hero for placing so well in the competition. From that point she gained a bit of a celebrity status in her school and the surrounding area, and would even assemble an "entourage", the nickname her group of friends were given. During the off-season, Reiko would keep in shape by roller blading, as well as gathering some of her friends and taking their bikes out into the local woods on weekends. Her entourage were friendly with Reiko's sister, but so were most of the students in the school. Her parents, proud of her success, allowed her to ask for one thing of her choosing, and they would get it for her. This would end up being her custom made gloves. What many people don't know about these gloves, as they only see the outside, is that she had her name printed on the inside of the left glove, while her sister's name is in the right.

School wise, she wasn't very smart. She did well enough, usually getting low to mid 70s in most of her classes, although she excelled in gym, often getting 95% or more. After being so successful in figure skating, she naturally wishes to turn pro once she graduates, and already has many agents interested in her.

Reiko, like her sister Reika, attracts people very easy. However, where as Reika does it through empathy and understanding, Reiko's is more on reputation. Admittedly many of her entourage only hang around with her because they want a moment in the limelight, although a few of them are genuine friends. Reiko is friendly, but can often be intimidating, and obviously not due to her size. She has an air of importance around her, and many feel that she looks down on everyone around her. She is the leader of her group of friends, and isn't afraid to wield this power on occasion.

Advantages: Reiko's advantages are pretty much entirely physical.She is a quick on her feet, has a near perfect sense of balance, and is flexible almost to the point of contortionism. Her figure skating has given a high endurance as well, as practices could often last for hours with only small breaks.

Disadvantages: Reiko has very few true friends, as many hang with her simply to be associated with her, and can just as easily drive people away. She isn't very good at reading people, and thus doesn't realize many of her friends aren't really friends. If one was smart enough, it could potentially be easy to twist Reiko into doing things she wouldn't do on her own will.

Designated Number: Female student no. 13

Designated Weapon: Pair of Sais

Conclusion: Aw, look at the little (literally) celebrity... maybe she should ask a certain Mr. Crosby how far fame gets you in this game. Oh well, the Japanese are all ninjas or something, right? She should be able to put those Sais to good use.

Stopped being a character a while ago and just started being an angry ball of death who fails to even garner a bit of interest. Behind two or three others, among the worst characters in v4. Rocky CANNOT write a good villain for the death of him. - Anonymous

^Well, that was just not polite comment, Anonymous. Reiko certainly had flaws, of course. It'd be nice to here a bit more of her emotions; I got very little feel from her during my reading of her. She wasn't nearly as bad as your comment implies, though. She had some good scenes, too. Her killing Rizzo and Carol was an interesting intrrospective on her personality. She was certainly an interesting read. Reiko was obviously not a perfect character, but there are many worse ones. - Espional
